He loved to snow and water ski and go camping with his family and friends. Josh was a competitive swimmer from age seven to 18 and was a four-year varsity swimmer on his high school swim team. He loved to go hunting, build and create things, work in his vegetable garden, go to the beach, golf, work on puzzles, attend the annual Super Bowl Party and never missed Father's Day at the Dixie Mountain Strawberry Festival. Most of all, he was an amazing husband and a hands-on Daddy. Josh loved the Lord and lived true to his Christian faith. He lived a large and full life for 37 years and will be greatly missed.
